The Authority will develop and implement a standardized fiscal year transition and grant charging process to ensure controls are in place for accurate and timely recording of grant eligible expenditures. As part of this process, the Authority will develop a verification checklist for all funding source reclassification journal entries to ensure compliance prior to posting. This process will: - Identify all stakeholders responsible for year‑end grant reconciliation and reporting. - Establish a required review and approval process to be completed before any change in funding source or charging mode. - Update Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual to include guidelines to limit reclassification of expenditures incurred in prior fiscal years. - Set a formal annual cut-off date for Program Offices to request current year funding source reclassifications, allowing sufficient time for the Funds and Grants Management team to review and meet fiscal year‑end reporting deadlines. - Refine current monitoring mechanism for “yet‑to‑bill” transactions throughout the fiscal year for transferred transactions that originated in the general ledger to ensure all federal expenditures incurred within the period are reviewed and reported in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. - Ensure the requirements for eligibility of expenses for Federal grants from 2 CFR 200.403 are enforced.

RE: Finding 2025-003 Misreporting of Pass-Through Grant Expenditures in Compliance Report In conjunction with our FY25 annual audit, please see the City's corrective action plan below: The City of Sand Springs will strengthen internal controls over federal grant reporting to ensure proper distinction between direct federal awards and federal pass-through grants, in accordance with Uniform Guidance and SLFRF requirements. Specifically, the City will implement the following corrective actions: Separate Tracking of Direct vs. Pass-Through Funds o The Finance Department will revise grant accounting procedures to clearly segregate expenditures related to: Direct SLFRF (ARPA) awards administered by the City, and Federal pass-through grants administered by external entities, including OWRB. o Separate project codes and/or accounting identifiers will be maintained to prevent commingling of expenditures. Revision of SLFRF Reporting Procedures o Written procedures for preparation and review of the SLFRF Compliance Report will be updated to explicitly state that: Only expenditures related to direct federal awards are to be reported by the City, and Expenditures related to pass-through grants are excluded and reported by the pass-through entity. o A documented review step will be added to verify that reported expenditures align with the funding source prior to submission. Staff Training and Awareness o Finance staff involved in grant accounting and reporting will receive targeted training on: Uniform Guidance requirements (2 CFR 200), The distinction between direct federal awards and pass-through grants, and Proper SEFA and SLFRF reporting responsibilities. o Training will be documented and incorporated into onboarding materials for future staff. Coordination with Pass-Through Entity (OWRB) o The City will coordinate with OWRB to confirm: The sequence of fund utilization (pass-through vs. direct ARPA funds), and Roles and responsibilities for federal expenditure reporting. Expected completion date: Procedures will be implemented for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and applied during interim processing and year-end close.

Finding Number: 2025-001 Condition: The 2025 Schedule was initially overstated to include federal awards relating to ALN 14.251, Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants, expended during the year ended June 30, 2024. Planned Corrective Action: Food Bank of the Rockies, Inc. received a reimbursement grant for vehicles from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). While we purchased the vehicles in fiscal year 2024, we could not file the claim for reimbursement until fiscal year 2025. Guidance on the HUD claims process was greatly delayed for multiple reasons. We posted the cost and asset when ordered, following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). However, we did not include the funding on the 2024 Schedule as we had not yet filed the reimbursement claims, nor been given assurance they would be paid. Instead, we included it in the fiscal year 2025 Schedule as that was when the claims were filed and we had confirmation they would be paid in full. We understand now that, per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.51(b), those funds should have been shown the fiscal year 2024 Schedule. With this understanding, moving forward we will include in the Schedule amounts that have been spent for which we have an agreement for reimbursement, regardless of timing of the claim being filed or level of certainty of reimbursement.

2025-002 SEFA Presentation Error – Prior Year Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.510(b)) requires that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) accurately present all federal awards, including the correct identifying numbers assigned by pass-through entities for each award.

2025-002 SEFA Presentation Error – Prior Year Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.510(b)) requires that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) accurately present all federal awards, including the correct identifying numbers assigned by pass-through entities for each award. Accurate reporting is essential to ensure compliance with funding requirements and enable proper tracking and monitoring of federal awards. Client’s Response: Last year was the organization’s first time going through a Single Audit. Although the organization accurately tracked expenditures corresponding to the grant award, the transactions were charged to an unrestricted program. The correction was detected and corrected during this fiscal year. We have implemented the necessary internal controls to ensure that our grant reporting accurately reflects the expenditures for each of our respective grants.

Corrective Action Plan Finding 2025-001 Federal Award Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Material Noncompliance – Reporting Name of Contact Person Kimberly Carlo, Executive Director Corrective Action In this case it was noted that our Organization did not perform reconciliation procedures between the federal program reporting of direct client expenditures with our financial accounting records. Not performing this reconciliation lead to an unreconciled difference when determining whether the data was complete and accurate. We have thoroughly reviewed our internal procedures, identified weaknesses and implemented changes to assure this will never happen again. To prevent and detect such errors in the future, we have changed our internal procedures to include: Project files that are being closed and reported to the grantor are being reviewed on a monthly basis. During the review, project files will be verified that the funding sources used for expenditures reconcile with the funding sources used for payment as recorded in the financial accounting records. Any differences will be reconciled at this point and such documentation will be retained. Additionally, an annual reconciliation of all population data used for program expenditures will be reconciled with our financial accounting records. To prevent and detect such errors in the future, we have changed our internal procedures to include: 1. Each material list along with measures and funding sources will be printed for the client file for direct material and labor charges. 2. The financial coordinator will verify funding sources match with amounts reported in the financial accounting records. 3. Any changes to funding for material and labor will be printed for the client file and given to the financial coordinator to change funding sources in the IWI accounting system. 4. Once funding is changed, verification will be printed for the client file. 5. An annual reconciliation of client program expenditures will be reconciled with our revenue and expenditure report for each funding source. Implementation Immediate.

Recommendation: We recommend management establish an informal procedure to reconcile grant funds received with funds expended on a regular basis. We also recommend management implement a formal procedure to reconcile the SEFA with the general ledger at year end. Corrective Action: The Comptroller will reconcile this report on a monthly basis making sure that all grants and other Federal / State expenditures are on the SEFA and that the two numbers reconcile with the general ledger. This will be kept in a notebook and the calendar kept in the Comptroller’s desk. The Comptroller will also create a folder in the business office folder on the server and input the current SEFA in this folder and show any discrepancies on a monthly basis and every time this report is run for drawdowns. This process will start immediately. The Comptroller will also make sure at year end that all items are on this report and they have been reconciled with the general ledger. This process will also be in the notebook and calendar within the desk of the Comptroller.

Other finding – SEFA Preparation Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Assistance Listing 21.027 – COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agencies: Department of Treasury Recommendation: The Corporation should update its policies and procedures and internal controls to ensure accurate reporting of the Schedule as required by the Uniform Guidance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the finding and recommendation. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Corporation established a centralized UMMS Office for Research and Sponsored Programs Administration (ORSPA) department in December 2025. The ORSPA department created a standard pre-award approval process for all sponsored proposals prior to submission or award acceptance. The pre-award approval process applies to all federal, state, local, private and commercial funding opportunities across all UMMS entities and covers new, renewal, resubmission and supplemental proposals. The establishment of a central intake process through one department, for all grants across the Corporation, enhances the controls to ensure complete and accurate reporting of the Schedule as required by the Uniform Guidance. Additionally, ORSPA and Corporate Financial Reporting implemented the following controls to ensure all expenditures of federal awards are included on the Schedule. These controls include:  Reconciliation of the grants from the pre-award approval process to the grants tagged in the accounting system;  Use of a specific grant identifier within the accounting system to track expenditures and revenue recognition and tag grants as federal, state or private funded;  Comparison of grant expenditures per the accounting system to the grant agreement;  Comparison of grant expenditures per the accounting system to the financial reporting submissions made to the federal agencies;  Certification from legal entity Finance Executives that the draft Schedule is complete and accurate;  Comparison of the prior year Schedule to the current year Schedule with further investigation around changes in grants and agencies included, and significant changes in the expenditures.

Root Cause Management concurs that federal expenditures totaling approximately $5,842,346 under ALN 21.029 were omitted from the initially prepared SEFA, along with an additional $206,139 of other federal programs, for a total of $6,048,485. Additionally, management discovered that $2,786,421 was omitted from the June 30, 2024 SEFA. The omission resulted from incomplete grant tracking reports not reconciled to the general ledger and grant agreements; absence of an independent secondary review; and procedures that did not fully capture pass-through and subrecipient activity. Objective Design and implement effective internal controls to ensure the SEFA is complete, accurate, and in compliance with 2 CFR §200.510(b) and §200.303; prevent recurrence of material omissions; and sustain readiness for Single Audit reporting. 1. Comprehensive Reconciliation Process Implement a standardized monthly and year-end reconciliation that ties federal award expenditures (including drawdowns and indirect costs) to the general ledger, award agreements/portals, and program manager reports. Create a SEFA Reconciliation Workbook with crosswalks by ALN, passthrough entity, award number, program, and period of performance. 2. Federal Awards Inventory & Certification Maintain a centralized Federal Awards Inventory listing all awards by ALN, award number, passthrough entity, and funding stream. Require annual certifications from responsible leadership team members confirming completeness and accuracy of reported expenditures and period-of-performance coverage. 3. Formal Review Workflow (Independent of Preparer) Establish a documented two-tier review: (1) VP of Finance prepares SEFA and reconciliation; (2) Leadership Team Members perform independent reviews using a SEFA Checklist covering ALNs, pass-throughs, subrecipient disclosures, notes (basis, indirect cost rate), and period-of-performance matching. Evidence the review via dated sign-offs. 4. Subrecipient & Pass-through Controls The VP of Finance create procedures to identify all pass-through and subrecipient transactions. Maintain subrecipient listings with amounts passed through and ensure required disclosures (ALN, pass-through numbers) are captured in SEFA. Reconcile subrecipient agreements and payment registers to SEFA. Leadership Team Members perform independent reviews for accuracy and completeness. 5. Close Calendar & Training Adopt an annual SEFA close calendar with milestones (pre-close, interim, final). Provide annual training for finance and program staff on Uniform Guidance reporting requirements and the SEFA Checklist; include updates to OMB Compliance Supplement as applicable. 6. Monitoring & Continuous Improvement Quarterly CAP monitoring by VP of Finance with status reports to the Finance Committee. Track metrics (e.g., % variance between GL and SEFA, number of checklist exceptions) and remediate promptly. Conduct a pre-audit SEFA "dry run" at least 60 days before year-end close. Roles & Responsibilities • VP of Finance: CAP owner; oversight, quarterly monitoring, reports to Finance Committee, designs reconciliation and review workflow; ensures adherence to checklist and certifications; prepares SEFA, reconciliation workbook, and supporting schedules. • Responsible Leadership Team Member/Program Managers: Certify award activity and completeness; provide supporting documentation. Timeline & Milestones Immediate (within 30 days): Approve CAP; establish Federal Awards Inventory template; draft SEFA Checklist; schedule training. Short term (within 60-90 days): Implement monthly reconciliation; obtain program certifications; pilot independent review on QI data. By next year-end close: Execute full close calendar; complete pre-audit SEFA dry run; document reviewer sign-offs; present monitoring results to Finance Committee. Compliance References • 2 CFR §200.510(h): SEFA preparation requirements (completeness, ALN, pass-through, etc.). • 2 CFR §200.303: Internal controls over federal awards. Management Statement (for 2 CFR §200.511(c) submission) Management agrees with the finding and has initiated the corrective actions described herein. The CAP will be monitored quarterly by the VP of Finance, with status updates provided to those charged with governance until all actions are fully implemented and operating effectively.
